Samsung is gearing up to launch its first Android-powered XR headset, codenamed Project Moohan (meaning infinity in Korean). The device, unveiled during MWC2025 in partnership with Google and Qualcomm, is positioned to be the flagship device for Google’s new Android XR platform.
The Elec confirms that Samsung’s suppliers are preparing to begin mass production of components as early as next month, suggesting a commercial release in the second half of this year. Initial production volume is expected to reach approximately 100,000 units.
The high-end headset features an over-the-head design similar to Apple’s Vision Pro, with early prototypes spotted at MWC2025 showcasing four front-facing cameras. At the heart of Project Moohan is a 1.3-inch OLEDOS (OLED on silicon) display manufactured by Sony, boasting an impressive 3800 pixels per inch—surpassing the approximately 3391 PPI found in Apple’s Vision Pro.
Samsung reportedly delayed its original launch timeline after Apple’s Vision Pro announcement last year, using the additional time to enhance specifications and strengthen its manufacturing capabilities. The company appears determined to not only match but potentially exceed the Vision Pro’s display quality while offering the familiarity of the Android ecosystem.
As the first device to run on Google’s purpose-built Android XR platform, Project Moohan will integrate traditional Android apps alongside specialized XR experiences. Samsung has emphasized multimodal AI integration, promising more natural, conversation-like interactions, with support from Google’s Gemini AI for various tasks.
Potential use cases highlighted by Samsung include immersive sports viewing, panoramic map navigation, and productivity applications leveraging the headset’s high-resolution displays and AI capabilities. While initially targeting the high-end market, Samsung has indicated plans to eventually expand its XR lineup to include more accessible mass-market devices.
This launch represents Samsung’s most ambitious move yet in the XR market, as major tech companies increasingly position extended reality as the next computing platform.
